Hi,

Microsoft Office button| Save As| Other Formats| Save as type as bmp, or png
or some other image format. You will be asked to save the current slide or
the whole presentation. That will spit it out as an image.

Hi Glen,

I have a similar issue. I Office 2003 with Service Pack 3 and it saves my
file as 2007 pptx. I have attempted /save as/ as PowerPoint 95 and later. I
get a window that reads: file type is blocked by your registry policy
settings. I simply want to save as 2003 file.

Thanks in advance

Tony
 
Hi Tony,

Have a look at this. are you on a corporate system? also, be careful doing
anything with the Registry:

Error message when you try to save a file in PowerPoint 2007 or in
PowerPoint 2003: "You are attempting to save a file that is blocked by your
registry policy setting": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945799/en-us

I had a similar problem and as far as I can remember, I never got it sorted.

Hi Glen,

Not a corporate system. I have genuine Microsoft software. It is
professional edition

Unless you REALLY need 95 format there's no need to save in the format 95 or
97-2003 and 95

If your 2003 program defaults to pptx try Tools>Options>Save and choose
"PowerPoint Presentaton" (probably first option) That should give you .ppt
files

Hope it helps

Thank John! Not sure what actually changed and why it defaulted to PPTX, but
it has stopped. I know what to look for.

Cheers,

Tony
